I have some hollowgram si arms in the mail.Trying to think long term, I'm waiting to get the spidering. I eventually want a power meter. Stages and p2max seem like the best options. I don't want to have a new one piece chain ring that I can't use if I decide on p2max.

Sweet, the Si is a great crankset, and is fairly affordable. It's what I use on my Evo, and I love it. As for a power meter, I know many people who like the P2Max, and I may get one sometime soon. If you're not super concerned with accuracy, Stages would allow you to use a Spidering, and it is the lightest option.

The forged SI's. Weigh around 220 grams per arm. That saved some weight going to the si Hollowgram. Keep the same bb too. You may find that the USA made mk5 rings come in 15 grams lighter than a spidering. Mine shift incredible too. I'll be looking forward to this build! I see lots of easy swaps. The Uno stem with ti bolts is a no brainer.

Other than the uno stem, what are you thinking? I just ordered the evo expander and some aluminum bottle cage bolts. I'm honestly starting run out of frugal ideas that also wouldn't jeopardize quality or durability. I'm waiting for the right price to get the 9100 rear derailleur, and a 6800 cassette. Beyond that it's wheels which I already have a savings fund working towards. From what I've read the difference in shifters from 105 to ultegra isn't justifiable. Dura-ace is just too expensive right now.

Sram red cassette is a major weight saver and no lose in durability. It's made from hardened tool steel. Conti Supersonic tubes and velo plugs will lighten your tires on the cheap. They both are long term keepers.

Another option for tubes is Vittoria Latex. They are not vey popular but are available on eBay and Amazon for around $15. The price may seem a little steep, but with S-Works Turbo tires I go all season (racing and training) without a flat.
